Studying Woodblock Printmaking in Osaka
We found a mokuhan-ga (woodblock printmaking) artist who teaches the traditional methods right in her Osaka studio, and I studied with her for two months this past spring.
The techniques she taught me enabled me to complete my Heavy Skies print series, which is currently hanging at Kafka’s in Vancouver.
Haruka-sensei applies paint to the block. The sketch and a test print are in the foreground. I’m using Day 21: Heavy Sky 12 from Thirty Days Project, November 2012.

Our Show at Kafka’s in Vancouver
We’re finishing up our work, getting ready to hang it tomorrow in time for the opening on Thursday, August 15.
My pieces are all large-scale woodblock-style prints based on the “heavy sky” series I did during Thirty Days Project last November.
Aya’s pieces are large, abstract works based on explorations from her Thirty Days Project work.
We would love to see any of you at our opening event on Thursday night, from 8pm, at Kafka’s Coffee and Tea, 2525 Main Street at Broadway.
Aya is doing her magic catering and Tim Gerwing will be playing his own amazing music, much of which will be based on his own Thirty Days Project work.

Two Interactive Views of Our Show at Kafka’s
Best comment on the show so far:
On Tuesday at about 9 in the morning, a 60-ish woman stumbled into the café and stood in front of my work for a brief moment before whirling onto the Kafka’s staff, who were busy with the morning rush, and hollering
She stormed out. The staff assures us that “she was wasted”.
I truly wish we’d been there to see that.

More constructively, an amazing Vancouver photographer who is known for his mind-bending wide-angle views came to shoot some panoramas of our show last Sunday evening. Click through to visit the show virtually! Read More
